On the road.  

Right.

They can eat at home when not on the road. They get paid a salary for things like food.

Hey my angelswin rank is up to AAA now. 

 

@Chuckster70 where's my raise?

Maybe they should find a way to make more money in their spare time. Being in the minor leagues for 9 years means baseball isn't working out I guess.

9 years and half a million dollars.

It's time for a career change. Imagine the shock he's going to get when he finds out he's going to have to take care of himself.

Political philosophies on full display in the thread.

It's interesting that he never enjoyed playing baseball, yet waited to quit until after he banked a couple of million dollars.

I agree.

Props to those of you who can live off of $2500 a month. My first job out of college I got paid ~$60k and thought I was broke

Yep 

This guy should quit. He obviously sucks.

The bottom line is Arte Moreno is a terrible owner

That's because you blew your paychecks on your New Balance collection.

Maybe if Lovegrove didn't suck ass for 9 years he'd have made it to the majors and been treated better. 

F'n South African

C'mon man.

I work Uber eats and doordash on my lunch breaks and after my regular 9 hour days to make extra money for savings and paying off debt faster.

Breedlove can cry me a river. What a whiner. Invest that signing bonus and he'd be sitting pretty right now.

This isn't about you.

Not going to lie, I rather enjoyed the "Breedlove"

[failos]

Lol this story is on the front page of shitty ESPN. Those fucks love to smear this team—but to be fair, the Angels had it coming with their horrible PR.

I respect the hustle. Good stuff, man.

I think the bottom line is that many teams recognized the bad conditions for their minor leaguers and took steps to improve them. Legal or not, if you want your players to flourish, they have to be treated correctly. Like the other poster noted, Moreno not responding says volumes. The treatment is wrong.

If I'm Arte, I'm not responding to a reporter from ESPN either.

Lou, you don't think these guys have a legitimate complaint?

[Stradling]

@Lou would you run your minor league system like this?

Well, then like Arte, you'd look like an uncaring asshole.

Lou is only going to focus on the one player that was quoted and not the guys that got little to no signing bonus.  He will say they made the choice and they can quit and go work somewhere else.

That has nothing to do with what you responded to.

I don't think Arte owes a reporter from ESPN anything.

I haven't heard from any other player.

Yes, because everyone is beholden to ESPN.
